Animal Farm & A Clergyman's Daughter

The grand theme of Animal Farm has to do with the capacity for ordinary individuals to continue to believe in a revolution that has been utterly betrayed. Orwell attempts to reveal how those in power-Napoleon and his fellow pigs-pervert the democratic promise of the revolution. Animal Farm known at the beginning and the end of the novel as the Manor Farm symbolizes Russia and the Soviet Union under Communist Party rule. A Clergyman's Daughter in 1935 is Orwell's most formally experimental novel featuring a chapter written entirely in dramatic form but he was never satisfied with it and he left instructions that after his death it was not to be reprinted. It is an unhappy spinster who achieves a brief and accidental liberation in her experiences among some agricultural labourers.
